@smartfrank,
what is a balance?

The term balance when used a noun has about five different meanings of which even distribution and proportion are among. It is clear you are thinking of balance as even distribution and not proportion.

@smartfrank, balance in 1 word is Equilibrum.

Know That There is a Way

When darkness comes and fear fills your heart,
Know, there is a way.

When all your dreams come crashing down,
Know, there is a way.
When friends cannot be found and there is
No one to comfort you,
Know, there is a way.

When you are ready to lay down and quit,
Know, there is a way.

To know is to find the way.
Knowing cannot be found out there.
Knowing is found in the silence
Of surrender within.

The way is within.

Shake It Off and Step Up

A parable is told of a farmer who owned an old mule. The mule fell into the farmer's well. The farmer heard the mule 'braying' - or - whatever mules do when they fall into wells. After carefully assessing the situation, the farmer sympathized with the mule, but decided that neither the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving. Instead, he called his neighbors together and told them what had happened and enlisted them to help haul dirt to bury the old mule in the well and put him out of his misery.

Initially, the old mule was hysterical! But as the farmer and his neighbors continued shoveling and the dirt hit his back, a thought struck him. It suddenly dawned on him that every time a shovel load of dirt landed on his back: he should shake it off and step up! This he did, blow after blow.

"Shake it off and step up... shake it off and step up... shake it off and step up!" he repeated to encourage himself. No matter how painful the blows, or distressing the situation seemed the old mule fought "panic" and just kept right on shaking it off and stepping up!

You're right! It wasn't long before the old mule, battered and exhausted, stepped triumphantly over the wall of that well! What seemed like it would bury him, actually blessed him. All because of the manner in which he handled his adversity.

I've never met a person, i don't care what his condition, in whom i could not see possibilities. I don't care how much a man may consider himself a failure, i believe in him, for he can change the thing that is wrong in his life anytime he is ready and prepared to do it. Whenever he develops the desire, he can take away from his life the thing that is defeating it. The capacity for reformation and change lies within. In every man they say is a drop of greatness. What's ur own drop made up of?
